UK Independent Board Game Distribution
We bridge the gap between self-published board games and UK retail shelves — giving independent publishers the distribution they deserve and retailers access to the most exciting games they can't find anywhere else.
Who we are
Gateway Games Distribution was founded to ensure that outsatnding games from independant publishers have the opportunity to reach a wider audience.
We exist to bridge the gap between these talented publishers and retailers, helping exceptional games reach store shelves and more players.
"As a self-publisher myself, I've been to UKGE, sold strongly direct to consumers, and understand the frustration that some independant publishers face in trying to get a distribution deal with mainstream distributors. I'm building the thing I wished existed."
— Hayder, Founder · Gateway Games DistributionHow it works
Our consignment model means publishers never pay upfront. Retailers get a curated catalogue, professional fulfilment, and generous terms.
No fees, no obligation to ship stock until you have seen the platform live.
We list your game in our trade catalogue. Visible to our retailer network from day one.
Once happy with the platform, send just 10 units. We handle storage and fulfilment.
When a retailer orders we ship within 48 hours. You receive payment within 30 days.
